Hey guys,
I have a bay boat with a 2006 Yamaha F150 that has the ignition switch mounted on the boat's console. The switch goes through a hole in the console and has a nylon or plastic nut that secures the switch in place on the outside of the console. I have lost that nut and am having no luck finding a replacement. Looking at several on line parts dealers schematics I can't even find a switch that is held on with a nut on the outside of the console. The local Yamaha dealers say that the nut is not sold by itself and to get one I will have to buy a new ignition switch. That will cost between $150 and $200. I can't pay that kind of money for a $3 nut.
I lost the nut prior to my last trip and used zip ties to hold the switch in place until I could get a new nut. ie red neck engineering.
What I am asking is does anyone have a source for this nut or does anyone have an extra one they would be willing to sell?
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Charlie
